    I don't know if its just me, but your website seemed to take a very long time to load,

    Nice of you to do such a walkthrough for people out there who need help.

    if you have static ip then i think its possible.
    it needs some tweaks in htaccess file and then when you enter the ip whie you are connected online your localhost will also be a website.

    Normally DSL connexions provide a dynamic IP. This is where we setup a Domain name -> IP mapping using DynDNS. See step 4 of the same article.
    However this for development purposes. Once the site is developed, this is no longer needed.

    Use DynDNS client to update your ip with a domain!
